EXTRA  LARGE  EVERGREEN  TREES  AND  SHRUBS. 


SUITABLE    TO    IMPART    IMMEDIATE    ORNAMENT. 

The  prices  of  Evergreens,  as  stated  in  Catalogues, 
form  no  criterion  as  regards  cheapness,  as 
Trees  of  the  same  height  often  differ  one-half 
in  yalue.  Those  grown  from  seed  in  a  Nursery, 
and  repeatedly  transplanted,  attain  a  de- 
gree of  vigor,  beauty  and  hardihood,  that  it  is 
impossible  for  those  to  acquire  "which  are  ob- 
tained from  the  forests.
